Chen Yu's expression eased. "Xiao'er, how is it?"
"Grandfather, very good. Look!" Chen Xiaojun said, and a divine sword appeared in his hand.
"This sword is named Chengying!"
On the front of the pale-white blade, patterns of a Pegasus took shape, vivid and lifelike, while radiating a refined, elegant, boundless glow.
Then it seemed to come alive, turning into a pale-white Pegasus phantom that spread all the way along the divine sword to Chen Xiaojun, coating him in a layer of pale-white light.
Afterward, the blade slowly faded away until only a section of hilt remained. There was only the hilt, with no sword blade in sight.
This long sword with shadow but no form was precisely one of China's Ten Ancient Divine Swords, the Chengying Sword.
"Good sword!" With Chen Yu's eye, he could tell at once that the sword's edge was no weaker than the Seven Kill Sword. With such a high-quality Soul Ring, the attribute enhancements it contained were naturally extremely high as well.
After taking form through the attribute boost of the Soul Ring, Chen Xiaojun's Chengying Sword not only had astonishing effects in every aspect, such as sharpness and toughness, but its internal balance as a sword and how naturally it handled were also exceptionally high.
"First Soul Skill - Fleeting Light Shadow!"
The purple Soul Ring appeared. As a flash of purple light swept past, Chen Xiaojun's raised right hand traced an elegant arc, and the Chengying Sword vanished.
Several dozen meters away, a tall ancient pine beside them gave a soft "crack" within the ear, and its trunk trembled slightly, with no visible change.
Yet not long after, the lush green pine canopy slowly toppled in a gentle passing south wind, and the flat, exposed rings of its growth stood revealed, proclaiming the passage of the years.
This sword was as fast as light, as shadow, as wind; light could not be seen because time flew like a shuttle, faster than lightning, crossing heaven and earth in an instant without anyone noticing; shadow kept only its form, as qi moved with chance, preserving a trace of shape and shadow that seemed both there and gone; wind left something behind, as the Pegasus neighed long and leapt away, roaming the skies, coming and going alone with the wind as its companion, fully displaying an elegant bearing.
"This sword possesses Wind, Light, and Space Attributes. This Soul Skill increases attack power, sword speed, and attack range by 100%. It can attack up close or at range, launch invisible attacks, and also fly by controlling the sword."
"Xiao'er, this Soul Skill of yours is a little excessively powerful among Thousand Year Soul Rings. It can completely compare to another Soul Master's Fourth Soul Skill, and it's not weaker than the top-grade Third Soul Skill your brother gained from the Lightning Wind Shadow Peng. Most importantly, it can perform invisible long-range attacks, making it impossible to guard against!" Chen Yu praised.
"Right, Xiao'er, what level is your Soul Power now?"
"Level thirteen. Same as estimated. Most of this Pegasus's Soul Power was absorbed by the Chengying Sword."
"Level thirteen? That's a bit beyond. Mm, once we return, we'll properly review and study it with your second granduncle." Chen Yu thought of a possibility, and as he was speaking, he suddenly sensed something and looked into the distance.
Two figures flew rapidly over from the distant sky. They were two Pegasi, one large and one small. The smaller Pegasus was astonishingly the Horse King of the Pegasus Group from earlier.
The larger Pegasus was extremely massive, two zhang tall and over five zhang long, with wings nearly ten zhang across. It was bold and fierce, its Soul Power fluctuations immensely oppressive. Light burst from its pale-golden eyes, giving off a natural, awe-inspiring dignity.
Clearly, the Horse King had brought reinforcements!
Chen Yu pulled Chen Xiaojun behind him. The Seven Kill Sword was already hovering in his right hand. He took the Seven Kill Sword and pointed it at the sky. "My Body as the Sword." Around him, two yellow, two purple, and five black Soul Rings spread open in sequence, and the Seven Kill Sword began to enlarge, sending out wave after wave of ripples.
"Eighth Soul Skill - Pluck Branch Destroy Mountains."
The Seven Kill Sword, over a hundred meters long, shone brilliantly, as though a heaven-propping sword had slashed out. Pieces of blue sword light peeled away, revealing the pitch-black sword body beneath, and it shot forth.
Its path went straight for the oncoming Pegasus, while the falling pieces of sword light spun ceaselessly around the Seven Kill Sword like leaves and petals, following it onward with a pure, indestructible force—domineering, magnificent, and vast in momentum!
"This Soul Skill really looks like Chen Xin's Eighth Soul Skill. Add in the Sixth Soul Skill, and grandfather and Chen Xin's paths are the same. Stone hammer."
The large Pegasus let out a long neigh, and the gemstone on its forehead, the size of a face, burst with white light.
The sky was instantly covered in raging clouds. Gale winds soaring into the sky gathered together, forming a spindle-shaped shuttle of astral wind that fell from the sky like a meteor, pouring downward as it rammed straight toward the Seven Kill Sword.
"Boom, boom..."
The blue sword light arrived in the blink of an eye and collided head-on, lightning exploding apart.
For a time, all sounds in the world seemed to be drowned out by the roar of that astral wind and the cry of the sword!
The folds formed by the collision between the two caved inward toward the Pegasus's side, and space began to warp. The Pegasus, which had originally been charging forward, had no choice but to stop.
It had fallen to a disadvantage.
"Human, take one move from me as well!" the Pegasus said. Yes, it could speak!
A snow-bright gleam abruptly appeared, slicing through the air as its brightness soared wildly in an instant. It had cut a giant rift through space, sweeping toward Chen Yu. And within that giant rift appeared something... a dazzling milky way so brilliant it was almost impossible to keep one's eyes open.
Yes, under the broad daylight, something like the nighttime milky way had actually appeared. This was the innate skill it had comprehended when it broke through eighty thousand years—Overturn River World!
"The righteous path is weathered, its trials hard to bear; through winding peaks and turning roads, how many passes have been crossed? Sword Control Object Star Shift!"
The Seven Kill Sword trembled. Sword light crisscrossed, scattering specks of starlight. The starlight emitted dazzling radiance and turned into countless circles, meeting the milky way—some resisting head-on, some circling back, some hiding away. They contained many different forces, shifting between hard and soft, an extremely complex technique of power application.
In Chen Xiaojun's eyes, Chen Yu's sword-wielding posture was certainly carefree and elegant, but when that brilliant, star-like sword light met the equally dazzling milky way, it was even more blinding, like seeing fireworks burst at close range.
The next moment, thunderous explosions erupted one after another in the void, and the void waves they stirred up directly turned every tree within several hundred meters around them into powder.
Fortunately, Chen Yu's protective astral qi shielded him, allowing him to watch this scene calmly!
Yes, he had blocked it. The Seven Kill Sword's power was indeed extraordinary.
Dust and smoke filled the air. After it dispersed, space settled, and the two sides stood quietly opposed.
The Pegasus Holy King gazed intently at Chen Yu as his figure slowly revealed itself, yet did not say a word. Only within its gaze was a faint hint of scrutiny.
"Pegasus Holy King, though I captured a Pegasus, it fought my grandson one-on-one.
This Pegasus was tenacious, fearless, and hot-blooded. It died on the road of its charge. It was a warrior, worthy of the name Pegasus!
If you still wish to seek revenge in the future, I will accept it. Remember this: I am 'Sword Hero' Chen Yu!"
After Chen Yu finished speaking, he turned and took Chen Xiaojun away by flying on his sword.
"Father!" the Horse King called out with its thoughts.
The Pegasus Holy King looked seriously at the dead Pegasus a few times. "This child of yours was indeed as this human Titled Douluo said! To us of the Pegasus Tribe, this is not a disgrace. And if we continued fighting, I would lose!"
As for your Recommendation Tickets and collections, I'm rubbing my hands in anticipation, hehehe.
